Thirty-seven players were under par after Day 1, 12 more than following the first round last year.
Rickie Fowler was on the line. Harmon, the legendary 79-year-old swing coach, who helped shape the careers of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, among others, had coached Fowler previously before the golfer made a switch to John Tillery, a professional marriage that didn’t work.
He entered the US Open this week at Los Angeles Country Club having played in just four majors in the past three years.Now, Fowler will wake up on Saturday morning with the 36-hole US Open lead at 10-under. Since 2010, Fowler has 12 top-10 finishes in major championships, the most of any player who hasn’t won one.
Rickie Fowler and his caddie Ricky Romano shake hands on the 18th green after completing the second round of the U.S. Open golf tournament at Los Angeles Country Club.“I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it, but looking [back], I did, just because of how much I learned about myself, my swing, my game. I wouldn’t be in this position had I not gone through the last few years. I’m looking forward to the weekend. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this good in a tournament, let alone a major.
